    Hitec Aurora 9X Just reveled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair

    Sweet! :cool: I hope it's for real this time and not just marketing hype. Hopefully they learned last time that people will actually test it.

    Hitec Aurora 9X Just reveled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair

    Anybody know if you'll get reduced latency with the current Rx's, or do you have to upgrade them as well?

    There are some free online gif editors that should be able to do it.

    The first (and last) time that I rode Greyhound, a super hot girl asked if she could sit beside me. ;) :bouncy: :banana: :beatingheart: :tongue: First thing she says after she sits down is "So, do you like dead people?". :facepalm: For the next six hours I got to hear all about embalming...

    Thatnks for the video Dan, that was sweet. Didn't know that DLG had gone extreme already!

    True, but my 62" Osiris has helped all aspects of my flying more than I ever could have imagined. It does exactly what your fingers tell it and shows every little mistake. It really makes you focus on being super smooth.

    Cool! :cool: I'd love to try DLG, it's about the only aspect of the hobby that I haven't tried yet. Gliders taught me more than I ever could have imagined, and I bet DLG would do the same.

    Saw a post that said that the long awaited 2m Osiris may be brought out by a different (non-3DHS) company. Anybody heard what the inside scoop is?

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Well those are a start. I don't like bullets on my lipo packs though...too much risk of shorting during transport IMO. I may just add one those in-line between the esc and battery connection though.... That would be nice. I had a Hacker esc with one, but each pack needed another wire soldered...

    Supposedly Power Poles are designed to handle the spark. Where they first make contact isn't where they end up touching once they are fully engaged.

    Why has no one invented a plug with the spark arrestor built in yet? On full scale aircraft we use a ground power plug that makes contact with two pins first as it is plugged in. Surely that idea could be scaled down for a nice and neat RC application.

    The Vyper is a far cry from an F3A or precision only airframe. I'm lucky enough that I have a Slick for nice and calm 3D days, and an Osiris for windy days. If I could only afford one airframe it would be the Vyper though. It can 3D with the best of them, and handle wind and precision flying...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    The only way you have to worry about incedence is if you know better than Andrew Jesky. With modern laser cutting it is impossible for the horizontal stab slot in the fuse to be anything other than what he designed. If you follow the instructions and build the plane as he intended, set the CG...

    Oh man, I just finished decking out my 1/4 H9 Super Cub with 7 1258TGs! :banghead: That'll be great for next though! :thumbup:

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    We're having one of the coldest and longest winters in a long time with record snow fall. The snow came about a month early and hasn't let up. We had a chinook last week with above freezing temps, but it brought 40mph winds with 60mph gusts. Average temp has probably been around -20c (-4f)...

    74" Edge 540

    I'm pretty sure that thin layer of wood is just sheeting and not the structural part of the structure. I've had it happen on most of my builds.
